INTERESTS AFFECTED.
This free list, 1t will be seen, aims to in
jure the lumbar interests OF the Repu5li,
can Northwestern States seriously, cuts
into the chemical industries Of Philadel-
phia and New York, and jumps over to
the Pacific coast and robs the iruit.grow-
ors Of that section OF tho country OF the
protection accorded their dried fruits and
nuts. Mr.. Randall puts the rich mans
almonds and hlberts on the free list be.
cause they are raised in the Republican
Pacific States aud lesves tho duty on the
poor boys peanuts in hopes Of still saving
The State Of Virginia to the Democracy. a
fatal commaafter the word "coal" puts coal
on the free list, though it is supposed Mr.
Randall intends this clause to read "coal
slsck or culm," etc. A misplaced comma
prevented the building Of tin plate in.
Iustry in this country. It is hoped that
this error will be corrected ehould the
bill come up for passage. The value Of
Imported cnrranls, dates and fgs was
nearly 81 100000 and that OF imported al,
monds and filberta nearly $l,5O0OO0. The
reduction Of duty effected by this change
will be nearly $l,0O0000. 1t will BE- wy
oYously opposed by the Pacific coast mem
bere, Tor they are asking for q higher rate
Of duty. o. Ioa
The rates Of duty on the manufactures
OF the chemicals put on the free list are
reduced 10 correspond with the supposed
advantage of foreign raw material, and The
samo process Of reduction IS applied to
pfaned and ssTsd lumber, Diiar.roo!
wood, used in making pipes, is also re.
duced to percent ad yaioren. The good
features OF Mr.. Randaii's former bill, 40
far as they refsr to the iron aud steel
schedule, haye btep entirely eliminated
The paragraphs advancing the rate oil
duty on tho plates, certain grades OF
rivets and colton, ties have baen aban.
doned, and tie Dsx bill will make the iol.
